Fieldwork:  An Integral Part of
Undergraduate Education in Human Services

The Fieldwork Program in the Department of Human Services is one of few undergraduate human services programs on the West Coast that is approved by the National Council on Standards in Human Services Education.  The internship experiences help the student to make a bridge between the various theoretical perspectives and concepts that they hear about in the classroom. Students will have the opportunity to experience three fieldwork situations, each for 120 hours of supervised practice.  Each fieldwork agency has been approved by the Fieldwork Coordinator. The benefits of working in the community are numerous and often result in important professional connections as well as developing the students sense of professional identity.  Our goal is to provide a quality fieldwork program that ensures the preeminence of learning for our students.
